SHIH TZU TOOTH CARE

The Vital Need of Dental Care

It is amazing how even just 20 years
ago, even veterinarians did not understand the important need of dog dental
care

The old
wives tale
that a dog kept their teeth clean by chewing on bones and such was
sufficient, sadly inevitably must have led to countless dogs dieing
from infections that festered for years; the dogs eventually dieing in
pain; their owners never knowing.

People used to think that brushing a dog's teeth was unnecessary.
Little did they know that many dogs died because of the lack of dental
care. Their pet would pass away and they were not aware it was
because of improper grooming!

As a dog grew older and began to eat less, an owner would assume that
their dog ate less because they were entering their senior years.

How unfortunate that many of those Shih Tzu were actually having
difficulty eating because of tooth issues; and unable to give this
message to their human family members.

Thankfully with today's medical technology, we now know that taking
care of Shih Tzu dental needs is just as important as any other
element of care.

Shih Tzu can benefit from getting their teeth brushed. Discuss
getting your dogs teeth cleaned periodically. This is a very important
part of giving your Shih Tzu a comfortable long, happy, healthy
life. Understanding the importance of this will save
your dog possible excruciating pain and eventual death from
infections.
